Sarah Palin--Bristol's mom and little Sailor Grace's grandmother--tells Entertainment Tonight that the Palin family has tried reaching out to Dakota Meyer for months now, and that up until his filing for joint custody--and child support payments--he has wanted nothing to do with either mother or child.

"For many months we have been trying to reach out to Dakota Myers [sic] and he has wanted nothing to do with either Bristol's pregnancy or the baby," Sarah Palin explained.

"Paramount to the entire Palin family is the health and welfare of Sailor Grace," she added, claiming that Meyer is attempting to "save face."

Bristol Palin has never publicly stated that Dakota Meyer is her daughter's father. The two became engaged in March of 2015, with plans to wed in May. A week before the wedding, she called the plans off.
